Is this a nice name? Knock some sense into me, and quick.

Turned 30 weeks yesterday with a baby girl and I’ve fell head over heels with the name Arietty I’m in loooooveee!!! Is it a dreadful name? It might be hormones.
Disclaimers

• yes I’m well aware it’s a name from The Borrowers, and that it was made up for it.
• and yes it was spelt with 2Rs as in Arrietty but I think that makes it a bit clunky!

So please, knock some bloody sense into me. I’m just head over heels with it!

Thank you
Emmy

I've loved it ever since the borrowers

I loved the borrowers - and always liked the name.

Go for it. Just don’t give her clock as a middle name😊

Love it. Loved it on the borrowers too. Beautiful do it!

I really like it!

A life time of correcting pronunciation and people saying,
"you're a wizard 'Arry"

But both are not enough to stop it being a pretty name.

I like it , there are certainly a lot of worst names out there. And it has lots of nice nick name opportunity's xx

"you're a wizard 'Arry’

Thanks for the chuckle

I'm sorry, I don't like it. Sounds a bit like someone saying Harriet wrong in Geordie accent.

Lovely. Would go with Ettie for short to avoid Ari, personally. I love it.

I think it’s fab.

Well Wendy was a name made up by JM Barrie and it becand accepted as a name, so why not Ar(r)ietty?

Excellent name 😉

I LOVE it. Always have done.
But I have two boys and no girls so... do it for those of us who won't get an Arietty of our own! 😁

Only if you and DH are called Pod and Homily.

Lovely.

I love it too!

It’s ok

They'll spend their lives having to spell it out every time they have to give their name.

I loved the character in the Borrowers but although it's a sweet name I'm not sure it translates well into real life if I'm honest.

I prefer Arietta.

I like it, but worry about how some accents would pronounce it (accents which drop the h at the start of words - would people assume it should be harrietty?). I also like Henrietta / Georgetta / Marrietta

I love it!! I 100% would have used it if OH would have allowed it

I love the Borrowers and the name.

My friend has one (I suggested it!) Beautiful, do it!

It's beautiful, I knew I'd heard it before and I don't think it sounds made up. Go for it . I think you might have inspired a few more on here too
